I have a 96 aero and for what it is worth I short shift first gear and sometimes second as well, especially in the snow in these cars.
Now I don't know if this affects the mapping of the ecm but I find that is the way to shift these big heavy sedans. If you are accelerating quickly, once you get into 3rd you will have great roll on and will be up to highway speeds in that gear.
I used to drive semis and with the turbo and the throttle lag of the 9000 it reminds me of driving those trucks ( unless you have your foot right in it and are accelerating really fast).
Like the others have stated don't try to rush the shifting and you will soon learn the habits of driving these torquey sedans smoothly
